20 inch on driver's side and 18 on passenger
I don't know about brand names in the US but if you want the best get the ones with teflon.

I really like my PIAA wipers. They are rather expensive but so far have been worth every penny.

I need to replace my blades. Mine are chattering when I use them.

I ran into some problems with using any of the after market blades. I tried the different brands too cause I thought maybe it was a problem with the manufacturer. Anco, Bosch, AC Delco, and Trico. Right around 60 MPH the wiper would lift up and skip part of the windshield. I thought maybe the spring was getting old in the arm so I replaced the arm. It still did the same thing. Finally I ordered a set of Tenzo Wiper Wings (Subtle Euro-style wiper with air foil) and my problem went away.

I also tried teflon, silicon, and other rubber compounds. It seemed like the teflon blades lasted the longest. (about 2x every other compound) They are more expensive though then the other blades.
As far as prices go:
Look at spending about $10-$12 for a set of Anco blades at Walmart, and about $15-$20 for a set of the telflon ones at an autoparts store. I don't recall if Walmart sells teflon or not.
